Managing meeting cancellations effectively ensures that all parties are informed and updated. This article will help you to understand the effects of cancelling meetings and how to properly cancel them.
Effects of Cancelling a Meeting
When a meeting that was made using a Booking Calendar is cancelled:
- Calendar Update: The calendar event’s status changes to free, and CANCELLED is added to the event title for easy identification.
- Guest Notification: Cancelation notifications are sent to the guest based on the Guest notification template that was used by the Booking Calendar.
- User Notification: Cancellations notifications are sent to the hosts based on their User Notifications settings.

If you are using the Two-Way Sync feature found within User Integrations in your account, you can cancel a meeting directly from your connected calendar.
